Nautikin Adventures News

[h2]About the release[/h2]
I am organizing my thoughts on release here and actively planning for the 1.0 release. The game is now at 0.9.809. I have a few builds left planned and then some optimization / release preparing tasks to complete. So the release is fast approaching. It will likely be sometime in late April or early May 2025.

As far as versioning goes the 1.0 release may jump from say 0.9.9x to 1.0 or something to that end based on the time slots I have available to release.

The game seems very stable now and has a crazy amount of content. I am still accepting feedback in whatever form players wish to provide it. Any new stuff I receive on Discord (or where ever) may still end up in the game, there is a ton of cool stuff in the backlog that I have yet to prioritize. My current plan is that once 1.0 is released, I will simply start pulling new builds from the backlog and prioritize player requests. This means I will continue updating the game after release.

[h2]Feedback and thanks[/h2]
I would like to thank those who have left reviews and provided feedback so far. A special thanks to people playing the game extensively and providing me inordinate amounts of feedback, information and support in various ways (you know who you are). Multiplayer help is always appreciated!

[h2]Final thoughts[/h2]
I am working very hard mostly on finishing the game. I am doing what I can in terms of marketing but my efforts are largely ineffective and Steam is really how I am reaching people. If you wish to support the game more you can spread the word in whatever way you can. Tell your friends or leave feedback.

I may do some sort of play the game with the developer event prior to 1.0 (or several if there is time). This might help find any lingering multiplayer issues and play with whatever sized group I can rally (session is limited 10 people currently). There was a small "Kill the developer" session a while back. It may be fun for those who have already enjoyed the game to chase the developer with jets or something. Maybe free keys if you shoot me down or something, idk. Probably just mess around in sandbox and blow stuff up. Sounds fun, I need to finish the remaining tasks prior to the final marathon of work before release which will likely be 2-4 weeks, so I will schedule an event after that if Nautikins show interest.


That's my plan! Keep an eye out for sales. Let me know if you have any questions.

[h2]Notes[/h2]
The increased size cap effectively eliminates restrictions within build areas, the only way to hit the cap is to extend far outside the build area. It makes it easier to stretch a quick runway or make really big parts for large ships. Some parts that start small may hit the cap sooner.

Things like steering wheels and fuel tanks can no longer be used as the root for structures. The reason for this is that it defies some of the schema for how vessels are expected to be constructed which can cause structures to take lots of damage when impacted. Valid roots are now things like cubes or other simple shapes (and hulls). An easy root to have is a cube that you mark with a specific color to note it as the root and hide it away somewhere so you can move it later if needed.

If you have structures with roots that are no longer allowed, they will still work but likely suffer from extreme damage when impacted.

Catching fish with a Nautikin is client side, because fish are not synchronized in multiplayer due to the extreme amount of fish (saves a lot of time/network messages). Though this will likely not be noticeable unless 2 players are fishing in the same location and discuss the fish they are fishing. In any case, when you catch a fish you receive a fish regardless of if other players are catching the "same" fish in a similar location.

Fish will react to a member of their group being taken and become harder to catch. They will calm down if you return later.

Eating fish meat will restore a small amount of health but cannot be used to revive Nautikins.

All caught fish result in the same type of fish meat but result in different amounts.

Fish meat spawned from killing fish with harpoons will not be saved and despawn after a while if not picked up.

Fish containers can hold any type of fish like meat (Fish, Shark, Turtle, Whale, etc.), but will not allow any other item type.

You can sell the fish container inventory when nearby buy shacks.

Catching fish with nets only requires the boat be moving and nearby fish. The fish do not have to go into the net physically. The orientation of the net relative to the fish does matter.

Fishing nets do not have collisions for performance reasons / limitations of the physics engine.

Each fish container can hold 1200 kg of fish.

You can put fishing parts on structures, but they will not do anything (except for passive fish storage).

The fish container can be used without the fishing net, but the fishing net will not do anything without a fish container.

When you drop items underwater, they tend to simply stay in the water where you dropped them. However there are/were some unintended side effects with this behavior such as dropping an item underwater above a submarine will make it attach to the submarine but still float above it, so instead now it will snap when underwater and dropped above a vessel. Additionally since this dropping behavior is not a saved action, if you park a submarine under previously dropped items they may decide to snap to the submarine on load rather than continue floating. The intent with this behavior is that if at any point you drop an item above a vessel you want it to stay with the vessel and if you do not you don't want it to sink into the ocean.

There are now 200 parts in the game.

Guides will be updated / added for fishing soon.

• Changed the way loading handles vessels that are still spawning
  
• Adjusted how golden shells spawn on various islands in campaign
  

[h2]Notes[/h2]
Joining load times for multiplayer will now take slightly longer because previously the loading did not wait for vessels to completely spawn and just let them load as you started doing stuff. This causes weird problems if you open the map and could potentially break stuff if somehow you interact with something that is still loading so it will now wait for everything to load for the main loading screen.

The next build will likely add more new stuff.

Guides will be update soon.

[h2]Changes[/h2]

[h2]Notes[/h2]
Resetting settings will not change the display monitor or full screen mode.

The racing hull had some symmetry problems that made it impossible to mirror in certain places and caused drift in buoyancy. This has been updated but depending on your design it may make your boat look different in terms of mirrored parts (but won't actually move anything). The buoyancy will also be slightly different. The materials may look slightly different as well.

The shadow bias helps with very close shadows. Setting it low is good for screenshots of Nautikins close up but can cause shadow artifacts elsewhere. The default value is meant to serve the best shadows in most cases.

Crane fast move will move the crane arm 2.5 times faster, but will not affect raising/lowering cables or rotating the lift.

Fuel cans can be used to fill fuel tanks with a fuel connector. Fuel cans can be filled from any fuel tank with a connector.

Fuel cans are available at some but not all buy shacks.

The next build will be another smaller build for some multiplayer bugs. I will likely update the guides after that.
